A beautiful experience.
Pros:

Most beautiful pool and rooms in the area. Staff were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend staying here if you are in the area. Breakfast was delicious, choices were great.
The wildlife in the hotel gardens was nearly as good as the National Park next door !

Cons:

Nothing, everything was great 👍
